Asymmetric allylation of (hetero)aromatic aldehydes by a zinc(II)‐allylbutyrolactone species catalyzed by a chiral BINOL‐type phosphoric acid gave β‐substituted α‐methylenebutyrolactones in 68 to >99% ee and 52–91% isolated yield. DFT studies on the intermediate Zn 2+ ‐complex – crucial for chiral induction – suggest a six‐membered ring intermediate, which allows the phosphoric acid moiety to activate the aldehyde. The methodology was applied to the synthesis of the antitumour natural product ( S )‐(−)‐hydroxymatairesinol.
